Senator JD Vance delivered an impassioned speech in Butler, PA, addressing a crowd 84 days after an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. Vance emphasized resilience and unity, stating, "We can't be intimidated. We cannot be stopped. We won't be denied. We will make America Great Again, and we’re going to do it together." He criticized Vice President Kamala Harris and the current administration for prioritizing foreign aid over American citizens, asserting that Harris has given billions to foreign countries and illegal aliens, while promising only $750 to Americans.

The speech aimed to rally support ahead of Trump taking the stage, with Vance reiterating a message of hope and determination.
